Minuartia montana Loefling ex Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 90. 1753.

"Habitat in Hispaniae collibus altis." RCN: 751.

Lectotype (Ghafoor in Jafri & El-Gadi, Fl. Libya 59: 54. 1978): Herb. Linn. No. 113.9 (LINN) .

Current name: Minuartia montana Loefl. ex L. ( Caryophyllaceae).

Note: Although McNeill (in Notes Roy. Bot. Gard. Edinburgh 24: 359. 1963) indicated type specimens in LINN, he did not distinguish between sheets 113.4, 113.5 and 113.9, which are evidently not part of a single gathering and so Art. 9.15 does not apply. López González (in Anales Jard. Bot. Madrid 60: 429-434 (2003 [2002]) provides an extremely detailed account of Löfling’s materials and descriptions involved in the treatment of Minuartia and Queria by Linnaeus.
